[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splin-ru:
You will get sufficiently more speed, when copying files from\to SD, if you wish to do ap2sd or data2sd, it's quite important to have fast SD, since it costs not much more, why choose old slow card?

One more - if you'll have to buy Desire HD tomorrow, you won't have to by another one SD :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Class 2 SD cards arn't that bad. I bought one and not had any problems with it at all. to be honest, probably just as good as a class 4 maybe. I did a few benchmarks with it and managed to get 9MB/s write and about 12MB/s read and a fair few people have said that is what they get with class4's/6's. People do tend to say that class 10's are useless so you may as well get a class 4/6. But as Splin-ru said it depends on what your running. If you using A2SD then class 4 minimum, if your using Data2SD then class 6 minimum. Personally, I haven't ran into any issues and I don't use A2SD or Data2SD. Had no problems with 720p recording at all so yeh, what ever you want to get.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lichard:
Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with "TRANSCEND MICROSDHC CLASS 6 16GB"

Read some threads about this card and it has got quite good results in a few benchmarks. I mean, its not that pricey... As i will use A2SD i think this is the choice for me.

Peace!
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
The xoom can mount just fine on Linux but it is an MTP not a Mass Storage device.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your device, computer, relationship, etc.... The following is meant as a guideline and worked for me but as always use your head.

I did this on my Kubuntu Maverick laptop, but it should apply to most *buntus plus debian. Other flavors should be similar, post a request and I will help if I can. I am familiar with Suse and RHEL/Centos as well but beyond those it will be guess work.

The first thing I would recommend doing is making the device read/write to normal users.

sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", SYSFS{idVendor}==\"22b8\", MODE=\"0666\"" |sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

NOTE: This also "fixes" adb so it is useable with the xoom as a normal user. If that is all you want you can stop here.

NOTE 2: You could also set an OWNER rather than changing MODE but I chose the most common route for this example/

Now install either mtp-tools or mtpfs for mounting using FUSE. Since I went the fuse route that is what I will conver here. (I installed the mtp-tools package but beyond using it to debug getting mtpfs to work I have never used it before.)

Assuming you already have fuse configured, for (k|x)ubuntu or debian :

sudo apt-get install mtpfs

If you do not have fuse already configured then do that first. Look it up online if you have any questions. If you get stuck I will try and help but this post is not about how to configure FUSE.

After that it is simple. Plugin your xoom and from the command line type:

mtpfs mountpoint

and to dismount it

fusermount -u mountpoint

so in my case I mount it in a subdirectory under home called xoom

mtpfs /home/janetpanic/xoom

fusermount -u /home/janetpanic/xoom

I have confirmed moving files to and from the actual directories but not from the meta "playlists" directory. I hope that helps...

EDIT: Fixed Typo... had "(idVendor)" instead of the correct "{idVendor}"
[Xoom General] sogrady:
Thanks for sharing your workaround. Unfortunately, it's no joy here. After following the procedure described, the terminal returned no error, but on trying to open the Xoom directory via Nautilus, I received the following message:

Error: Error stating file '/home/sog/Xoom': Transport endpoint is not connected
Please select another viewer and try again.

Unmounting proceeds without error.

Distribution: Ubuntu Lucid x64
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Did you connect your xoom before or after you mounted? The most likely problem is the undeveloped configuration .

Change the line in 51-android.rules to

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="0666"
[\code]

Restart udev and then do a "ls -lah /dev/libmtp*" with the device attached and list the output. I need to figure out if the problem is the udev rule or elsewhere.

If the ls does not show any files then send the result of "lsusb |grep Motorola" which better list a line or there is something weird going on.
[Xoom General] sogrady:
Updated 51-android.rules as directed, then:

sog@bishop:~$ ls -lah /dev/libmtp*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2011-02-27 19:59 /dev/libmtp-1-4 -> bus/usb/001/004

sog@bishop:~$ lsusb | grep Motorola

[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Wait, you aren't able to get the Xoom to mount as a mass storage device?

ed. The leaked Xoom manual suggests it support mass storage. Phew. You were scaring me there a bit.
[Xoom General] sogrady:
as far as I know, it's been confirmed that the current stack does not support mass storage, only mtp.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Which stack, Linux or Honeycomb's? Where is it confirmed?

Non-working mass storage is a potential deal breaker.
[Xoom General] sogrady:
honeycomb's. see here or here for details.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Thanks for the links.

This is a real WTF.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Can someone try running this attached apk to see if it enables mass storage? (It just runs enable, it won't run disable, so I don't know what will happen, it might cause apps to crash but rebooting should fix it, standard disclaimers apply, you run this at your own risk, etc., etc., etc.)

I don't have a Xoom, otherwise I'd try this myself.

Relevant code snippet for those interested:

StorageManager s = (StorageManager)getSystemService(Context.STORAGE_SERVICE);
Class c = s.getClass();
Method m = null;
try
{
m = c.getMethod("enableUsbMassStorage", (Class[]) null);
m.invoke(s);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

There may even be an easier way to achieve this -- I can't verify for myself because Honeycomb isn't in AOSP -- it doesn't work in the sim, but it might on a device: run adb shell, then run "am start -n com.android.systemui/.usb.UsbStorageActivity".
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
I ran the activity manager command and it brought up the usb mass storage screen but did not mount on computer. Also ran the apk but did not mount. Awesome job though. keep fighting the good fight ;)
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Well that is interesting . You have read write privileges on the xoom. Sounds like it is a fuse configuration issue. Do you have any other fuse file systems you run?
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Damn it. Looks like I actually need a device to get it working, and the AOSP drop. It's so moronic why they disabled mass storage.

Hmm. Can someone run, from adb shell, the output from "mount", and "ls /sys/devices/platform" for me?
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Never mind. Mass storage has been defined out of the stingray (Xoom) kernel. It's not even in the default kernel.

To get mass storage support, be prepared to build your own kernel and reflash the device (once that's done, the am command above or the enabler app will work properly).
[Xoom General] sogrady:
I've founded a working(ish) solution. This Xoom forum post details an approach that permits transfer of video/music/etc to the Xoom via Linux.

Couple of caveats:

1. The gnomad2 application is very unstable. Crashes frequently.

2. It appears to be write-only: I have not been able to delete files from the Xoom using this interface.
[Xoom General] lshantz:
Thanks for the instructions to connect to a xoom tablet via Linux! However, I'm using Opensuse 11.3 and 11.4 on two different systems. I did install the mtp-tools with no issues, however, there is NO file by the name of mtpfs. A search on the net does not reveal it either. Where do I get this, or what package is it part of? Thanks again. If I can't get this tablet to connect to my linux box, I will have to take it back, since I do NOT use winbloze or Mac. Pretty short sited of Motorola IMHO.
[Xoom General] orionshock:
Personally, I've given up on MTP + Linux Combo. I just use a straigt FTP transfer over wifi ( FTP Server on tablet ). It's about the same speeds.
[Xoom General] stlsaint:
any headway on this...

i am getting the: Transport endpoint is not connected error still and i have no real experience with FUSE so im stuck to using windows for any transferring.

I am trying this on Crunchbang linux which is based off debain the same way ubuntu is. I am probably going wrong with FUSE somehow but i have never messed with it so i dont know how to troubleshoot it.

Just loaded Monster RootPack 0.7 from thecubed.

Just wanted to say THANKS.

Don't have the thread count to post on his thread but my experience was as follows.

I had already updated to 1.1 rooted with autonooter 3.0.0 and installed CWR from the market.

Had heard about some issues others had with 3.0.0 and was pointed to thecubed thread.

Booted into recovery with CWR and installed the root.zip no problems.

Don't know if I really fixed anything, but now I have the Gingerbread keyboard and the cool boot animation.

Now to find for the overclocking zip!
[Nook Color General] liqn7:
Super newbie question I know, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

Whats the difference between autonooter and Monster Rootpack? Why would you choose 1 over another?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bikerbilly1169:
Hello I rooted the phone but it still says no non market allowed. Also where is the app my files like on my captivate?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
what method did you use to root. Also check under the applications in the main phone menu and check unknown sources.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bikerbilly1169:
I used the one click method. I tested to make sure im rooted and I am. I dont have an option for unknown sorces though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
then it doesnt come with sideloading enabled there are some commands using adb and some other stuff to enable side loading

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I have been using a NAND Android ROM since they came out and love it, but I'm curious about Windows 7. My questions are as follows:

Does Windows 7 run off the SD card or NAND?

Can I go back to Android if I don't like it?

Does everything work on 7?

Is there a working Pandora hack?

Thanks for anyone's help on this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
1) It runs from NAND

2) Yes, simply flash your preferred NAND via MAGLDR

3) Yes, if you get your activation code to use Live services

4) The jailbreak is called "Chevron" and is cooked into most custom ROMs - but not the very first "Leo70".
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
The nice thing about the HD2 is you can install wp7 on your NAND, and still boot android off your SD... I went from NAND android back to SD android builds so I could also use wp7, and I've noticed almost no difference in performance and battery life between NAND android and SD android. Only thing you miss out in with SD android is that there's no clockwork recovery... but it's easy enough to boot different builds and make backups with SD android.

WP7 is great, but it's still missing some functionality and apps that android has, so having both is perfect. At this point, I would have a very hard time choosing between the 2 OS's if I had to get a different phone. WP7 grows on you very quickly. Can't wait for MS to put out the update that gives multitasking to WP7.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
As the name says, it´s a shell. And yes, you can install it on WinMo 6.5, as a replacement for HTC´s Sense.

But most people wouldn´t do this, there is a free software called "coOkiemonster´s Home Tab" which is extremely powerful. And there are tons of great mods, tweaks, widgets and enhancements next to the built-in options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
SPB Mobile shell is pretty much wasted on the HD2. I found it useful with my old TP2, which has a much slower processor and far less memory.

If you do use it, I highly recommend that you get familiar with Vostradomus and his excellent SPB MS shell extensions. There is a whole thread on playing around with SPB MS.

Alas, I fell in love with the Sense interface as presented by NRG. Prior to that I would agree entirely.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HotKarlMarx:
Does any one know why Contact Grouping hasn't been added back in since Android 1.5? I've searched on it here, I asked about it on Reddit, thus far, the only answers I get about it are "Use Sense", "try this app" or "Yeah! I want that too!".

I don't really want to use Sense, because CM mod runs great on my G2, and all of the other apps go way too far. All I want is a box in the contact section where I can select from the groups I've defined in Google Contacts to categorize a person, just like it was back in Cupcake.

Why can't/hasn't this been added back in? CAN it be added to CM?

Should I replace it in the ZIP and reflash or just move the apk-file to sdcard and install from there?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmonkey:
Hi,

I had a few questions about kernels...hope someone can help me in answering these...

I am thinking of trying out the Netarchy kernel on my Nexus S, but i was just wondering is there anywhere I can download the stock kernel (so that if anything does go wrong i dont have to do a full nandroid restore?)

Also, when installing a new kernel does that wipe data (of course I will make a backup etc before installing it, but should all my settings and apps etc remain intact normally?)

what impact does an OTA update have if i am running a non stock kernel? so say i am using Netarchy's kernel, and google releases a new OTA update...will i still be able to install the update? If i do, will it revert to stock kernel?

Thanks in advance,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I'm not aware of anywhere that the stock kernel is available for download so doing a NANDroid backup is really your best option. If you have anything that deviates from stock (kernel, rom, theme, even just deleted stock apps) it will prevent you from being able to successfully update from an OTA.

You can find a lot of information about all the available kernels here just scroll down to the third post and you'll find the info.

Finally, just as a note of personal opinion, getting OTA updates is a little overrated. If you run a custom ROM, the OTAs will be included in those ROMs eventually so you won't have to worry about restoring a stock ROM just to get the updates.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmonkey:
Thanks for the quick answer. I had read that post before (it was actually how i came to discover kernels :) ). The reason why I was asking about the OTA is because I actually use the stock ROM but was just thinking about trying out the Netarchy kernel just to see what its all about. Hence if there is an OTA update, and i am running a different kernel to the stock, is the only way for me to incorporate the update by flashing the new stock rom and then reinstall the netarchy kernel?

Also, if i install it, do you know if it wipes data/apps?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I apologize as I forgot to mention that part of your question, I'm sick with the flu and a little out of it on some cold medications lol. You only lose data and apps when flashing if you wipe the /data partition in mounts and storage and this is not required nor is it recommended when flashing a kernel. Sorry for answering out of order, but I thought I should clear that up first. As to the other question, you have it correct; you would need to flash the new update ROM and then flashing a new kernel.

I should also note that whenever you install a new ROM, you will need to reflash a custom kernel. This is because the vast majority of ROMs released include a kernel and when you flash them it will overwrite whatever kernel you currently have.

Finally, if you have any other questions you can always feel free to post them on that thread. I'm the one who wrote it and I check it often to try and answer questions as best and as quickly as I can. Happy flashing!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
